2007 Buell XB12S 1.2L Petrol · SF07 KZB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in July 2025 with 10,365 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows improvement following a period of failure in 2023. While the history indicates intermittent mechanical and wear issues, the clean sheet from the latest test suggests that the current owner has addressed identified faults and is maintaining the vehicle to a passing standard. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 546 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of inactivity, evidenced by only 142 miles covered between the May 2024 and July 2025 tests despite a fourteen-month gap. This low usage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine but often introduces risks related to age-related degradation such as perished seals or fluid degradation when the vehicle is left stationary for long durations. A physical inspection must focus on the offside front shock absorber to ensure the serious fluid leak recorded in May 2023 has been professionally rectified rather than merely topped up. The noisy exhaust noted in May 2024 warrants a check of the mounting system and mounting brackets to confirm there is no structural fatigue or loose bolts. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also inspect the tyres for flat spotting or sidewall cracking, as rubber likely ages long before the tread depth reaches the legal limit on a bike of this age.
